How can I set Firefox as the default client for ftp:// links? At the moment default client for ftp:// is Finder, which I don't like.
I found a similar question, which is 7 years old and the solutions don't work anymore.

There's a free application called RCDefault App that allows you to set the default application for different protocols, file handlers, etc.
For example, for FTP, I can set whatever application I choose to handle that protocol...
Installation is extremly easy. Once you download and open the DMG, simply copy the file to either
/Library/PreferencePanesor~/Library/PreferencePanes(if you only want it accessible to your user profile)After it's copied, open the application up from System Preferences and you can start customizing.
It hasn't been updated in a long time, but I just verified that it works on High Sierra.
